What Are the Alternatives to Chronic Toxicity Testing?
Recent advancements have led to the development of alternative methods to reduce reliance on animal testing. These include:
- In Vitro Models: Cell culture systems and organ-on-a-chip technologies can provide valuable insights into toxicity mechanisms without using animals.
- [QSAR](#) Modeling: Quantitative structure-activity relationship models predict the toxicity of chemicals based on their molecular structure.
- Omics Technologies: Genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics can identify biomarkers and pathways affected by toxic substances, offering a more comprehensive understanding of toxicity.
